English is the language of the people of England. At the same time it is the language of the people of many other countries, called English- speaking countries. About three hundred million people speak English as their mother tongue and hundreds of millions more speak English as their second language.
Many centuries ago English was spoken in England only. Then English was brought to other lands in different parts of the world, which were British colonies in America, Asia, Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand. The English language was first brought to the North American continent by English people in 1607.
Today the largest English-speaking country by land area is Canada, but by far the most English speakers in North America live in the United States. Many islands in the Carribean, south of the United States, also speak English. On the other side of the world, Australia and New Zealand speak English as a native language. English is also spoken in India and South Africa, as well as in many other African countries.
